Charlotte, Dan and Max live here. Charlotte is originally from the UK and Dan is from New South Wales; Max was born in 2012. Charlotte works in the CBD three days a week and from home on Fridays, and Dan is a stay-at-home dad so he’s usually at home if you need any help or have any questions during your stay.

Reviews From Guests

Even though we only spent a night, Dan was a really accommodating and welcoming host. He left no stone unturned to ensure that we were provided with more than what we needed. We had complete access to the guests' sitting room which was filled with a large variety of books. The guest room, sitting room and toilet were also close to the main door allowing us privacy even though it was a shared apartment. The room itself was quaint and spacious with the electric blankets keeping us extremely warm through the night. Dan was also very efficient as he communicated with us so that our check-in went smoothly. He also recommended some cafes around for good coffee (and they were good). Location wise, it's extremely accessible by public transport to and fro city and there a number of eateries around. If you're driving, parking is also easily available. Overall, I'd recommend a stay at Dan's.

We had an awesome stay with Dan ! What a lovely house in a good location ! It was only a short tram or train ride into the CBD , but there are lots of cool cafes and pubs nearby. We felt very welcomed into their home , and had everything we could of (website hidden) books , myki cards , maps , and loads more information about Melbourne! The room was very comfortable and large and the electric blankets were a warm comfort . We even had our own lounge room and bathroom . Thank you for a great stay and we shall be back again one day !

We had a wonderful stay with Dan, Charlotte and Max. The listing is exactly as described, and we couldn't have been happier with the room. The bedroom is very spacious, and the little sitting room is great with plenty of TV watching options and books.
The location is also great, literally two minutes from Moreland train station and 3 minutes from the trams on Sydney road - it couldn't be easier to get around.
Highly recommended!! Thanks guys!!

It was a great relaxing experience, the room was near & tidy & very comfortable! We were made welcome on our arrival & shown around the house & given the choice to use the garage! Overall excellent! Thanks Dan

Dan and his family are the perfect hosts, we could not have felt more welcome - little treats to surprise us in the fridge and most helpful re advice about things to do in Melbourne. The accommodation is first class - roomy quiet bedroom (with newly installed double glazing) your own very pleasant private sitting room with TV and movies and private bathroom - and the shared use kitchen worked a treat, we were up early and out and rarely seemed to cross over at all. Great location for walks in funky Sydney Road and Lygon Street. Tram service nearby excellent. On arrival little Max showed us around and was a delight. This was our second stay at 249 and we will certainly be back.

Dan's place is as listed and more. Dan was accommodating and the rooms are generously appointed - bath robes, electric blankets, shampoo, conditioner, miki cards, ear plugs, guidebooks. Dan also went to the effort to print off a what's on for the weekend that led to the highlight of our stay. Dan's communication was excellent and he was very helpful with local suggestions, and offered us home baked goodies and even to book our can to the airport! :) thank you Dan, Charlotte and Max

Dan's place was AWESOME! I drove, so it was pretty near the airport. There is a train station just beside, so for non drivers, its easy as well.
The room was AWESOME! we came in winter and he had ELECTRIC BED WARMERS WHICH WERE THE BOMB!
Dan's son Max is super cute and his place is super cozy. We didnt get a chance to use the living room ( lots of books and movies, great place to chill).
Parking is easy at his place.
Now for the most important part: Dan is an INCREDIBLE CHEF!
We are kicking ourselves for not tasting his caramel fudged ( which we packed and took on the day we left) earlier as it was better than anything we had tried anywhere else! he mad banana bread for us as well and he was truly awesome!
Dan's son is super cute and adorable as well! I would highly recommend Dan's place for anyone who is in the melbourne area!
Keep up the aawesome work Dan!

We had a wonderful stay here and would recommend the place and hosts in a heartbeat. Dan had gone beyond what was required to make our stay pleasant and comfortable. The rooms were spacious and quiet, there were more heating options available than we needed (ducted heating, electric blankets, portable fan heater and hot water bottles), breakfast was plentiful, there were bicycles available for our use and Dan had created quite exhaustive manuals for not only the house and its amenities but also for exploring Melbourne. There was even a little gift left for us in the fridge at one point. I wish we had had more time to spend in the lounge room to explore the extensive DVD and book collection. Dan gave us as much space as we required but was on hand if there was anything we needed. There was nothing more we could have wanted.
